I have old type iris and many new ones. Never tried to save seeds, never thought of it. Its just to easy yo trade plants from then. hummmmm.

I have Iris Dietes seeds and plants for postage if you're still interested.

Thanks Mari11 - It's fun to see your "name" in print when you don't expect it. Yes you may check my website (above) or if you don't find the answer to your particular question there - just email me and I'll either answer immediately or I'll find out the answer and get back to you asap. Studies have shown there is no benefit to starting daylily seeds at this time of year (unless you live in the southern US). Save them dry (in a Ziploc bag and include a piece of papertowel to absorb any moisture) in the veggie compartment of your fridge. The seeds will look shrivelled, but that's okay over the winter, you'll rehydrate them in spring. Be sure to check the seeds once a month and if you notice the papertowel starting to discolour or get moldy - simply remove it and replace it with a fresh piece. In March you can take the seeds out and soak them overnight in tepid water as mentioned above. You can keep soaking them until they germinate (a week or more) and some people put a few drops of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide in the water to help the seed soften and allow water in to begin re-hydrating and germinating. Then plant up (as above). After the initial watering of the seeds in the soil, try to water from underneath instead of watering over top. If you can add water to a tray under the pots, you'll keep aphids and mites to a minimum. If you need more specific info - email me. Good luck with your daylily seeds!

I don't like to direct sow - weeds and other accidents are to common... I like to sow my Iris seeds in Gallon pots or 4 inch pots depending on how many I have. Seeds germinate better with company..Cover with coarse sand or grit if you have any (1/2" deep or less) Allow them to be exposed to weather, an unheated greenhouse is OK. Keep them watered if no rain... The should start to germinate by March-April. ID your iris: Do the flowers have beards ? (the fuzzy thing on the falls) If so you can classify them by height (TB, BB, IB, SDB...) but culture is the same - well drained soil - not too much water.. If no beards, then are the leaves longer than a foot in length ? Shorter leaves would indicate one of several Iris species...P.S. all the beardless (ex. Spuria) prefer moist soils and some degree of acidity... If the leaves are long, do they have a central 'midrib' running the length of the leaf ? (if so then you have Japanese) If no midrib then we likely have either Spuria (flowers resemble dutch iris but larger), Louisiana (light green leaves which are 1" or more wide) or Siberian (blue green leaves which are narrow ~1/2" wide) Siberian and Spuria are easy enough to germinate, Louisiana iris have a corky covering which needs to be removed before sowing. Since you say the flowers are yellow, I think it is unlikely these are Siberian (there are recent hybrids which are yellow, but these are less common and expensive) If they are very tall they might also be I. pseudocoris try Google images with some of these iris names...
